Starting this summer, students at Searcy Ninth Grade Center will no longer be separated from upper classmen at Pearland High School. According to a Pearland ISD release, the two facilities will be merged into one campus after the end of the current school year.

“After reviewing the needs of Sheryl Searcy Ninth Grade Center and Pearland High School, the Pearland ISD administration is now combining the faculty/staff of both schools. Beginning this summer, grades 9 through 12 will be under the leadership of PHS principal Larry Berger,” officials said in the release.

Going forward, current Searcy principal Andrea Wenke will become principal of Pearland Junior High West and the current PJH West principal Pam Wilson accepted a new position in the Special Programs Department.

“While there will be some logistical changes, we will maintain the spirit of Oiler Nation. I look forward to supporting PHS students throughout their entire high school career,” Berger said.
